a lovely, poignant song

about a man fated to be kept apart from his true love

                                                       

        "Well, sometimes I dream of gettin' outta here,

        Headin' down towards them old tracks           

        I swore I'd come and get her                   

        But I know I ain't never goin' back            

                                                       

        "There's nights I can't sleep                  

        No matter how hard I try                       

        So from my window I watch the moonlight        

        Fall on the far hillside                       

                                                       

        "I imagine I put on my jacket,                 

        Go down to this little roadside bar            

        Pick a stranger and spin around the dance floor

        To a Mexican guitar"
